Romans 2:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 2:17

15 who show the ^awork of the law written in their hearts, their ^bconscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)

16 ^ain the day when God will judge the secrets of men ^bby Jesus Christ, ^caccording to my gospel.

The Jews Guilty as the Gentiles

17 Indeed ^ayou are called a Jew, and ^brest on the law, ^cand make your boast in God,

18 and ^aknow His will, and ^bapprove the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

19 and ^aare confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, ^ahaving the form of knowledge and truth in the law.

21 ^aYou, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?
